Here is a breeder loft I just put up.  No paint on it yet but that will come.  Its only a 8 by 16 in two sections.  8 pair on each side side and when seperated then cocks on one side and hens on the other.  You will notice no windows.  On the second picture you can see where the top 24 inches either opens up or folds down.  Not sure how this will work but with as much rain as we get here I figured I would try it.  The roof is clear poly and the light comes through very well.  What do you think?  Any idea for improvements.  I am hoping I get lots of feedback with some good ideas.  Thanks.  Ed

If all of your roof is clear poly you could find the loft will be too hot in the summer and collect condensation on the inside in winter, a friend of mine had these problems and finished reroofing the loft

[birdman55678]

I am not worried about the temps in the summer as its cool here year round but I did not think about the condensation, I will do some thinking about that.  I knew I would get some good stuff here.  Thank you shadow I appreciate your views.  Ed

Ed,

 

We had some condensation problems in WA and we had a metal roof, we bought three extractor fans from Home Depot and put them on a timer, dampness is really a problem in Washington State, also I don't see any air vents at the bottom of your loft, I feel these are necessary to keep a good air flow.

 

Just my thoughts

[birdman55678]

Hi Linda.  Some good thoughts there.  I am using wood pellets to hopefully combat some of the dampness.  I also have air-vents in the floor that can be removed and then the pellets and mess put down and taken out from the bottom.  (this keeps me from having to pack it out.  LOL)  Had not thought about a fan, I will look into it at home depot. Thanks a bunch gal. Ed
